Pros

Big company Good leave policy

Cons

I am working with Lumen, I am writing on a thing I happened to see to my fellow colleague. She is pregnant, and she is in 8th month now, her fluid level dropped, and doctor advised her foe medication by getting admitted. My manager is so adamant that she wont allow my colleague avail early leave along with her maternity. My manager is telling that my colleague is cooking up story and is asking for leave to spend time off. This is really unethical from a manager working in Lumen. My colleague fears that her job might be at risk and she might get blacklisted. How much stress she has to undergo at 8th month pregnancy with complications! I really hope Lumen will take action on the manager. Anonymously posting so that I dont get caught and lose my job.

Pros

Easy to blend into the company and disappear.

Cons

The IT department at Lumen lacks diversity. When I worked at Lumen as a software developer, my lead, my manager, my director, and my VP were not Americans. Almost all of my peers were not American either. A few months after I left, the American CIO was replaced with a CIO who is not American. I would be happy if many nationalities were represented. But only one nationality is crowding out all other nationalities, including Americans. Bless their hearts, these folks put up with subhuman working conditions. Long hours. Early mornings. Late nights. No documentation. Lack of tools. Tremendous management hypocrisy - pretending to care about employees when they don't care..
